I believe in a teamwork approach, where the student and tutor decide together what is the best way to learn a subject. The student gives input on what obstacles stand in the way of learning, and the tutor helps remove them. I work on the concept of "Self-Management", which embraces accountability and responsibility by the student in the learning process. My mission is to help struggling students by tutoring them in the areas where they have "fallen through the cracks" in their educational systems. I am the "Missing Link" in helping them "fill in the gaps" in their educations. I have ten years of experience teaching Reading, Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, Spelling, English Grammar, Writing, Basic Math, Study Skills, Test Skills, Life Skills and more. I taught at Delaware State University and Delaware Technical Community College, instructing students in ESL, SAT and GED prep. I

I have prepared high school students (Proficiency Prep. at Patterson Co-op HS and for Darden Educational Consulting Services) for Ohio's graduation examinations since the state's implementation of the Ohio Proficiency Test in 1990, which was enforced with the graduating class of 1994. I have also taught O.G.T. preparation (an "upgraded / replacement O.P.T.") since its inception in 2005. My specialty areas are in O.G.T. Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Math. I also tutor students in "B.C." Math for the ASVAB (militay entry) and Accuplacer (college entry) tests. I've nicknamed it "B.C. Math", which stands for "Before Calculator", because beginning with the 6th grade O.A.A. exams, and continuing through the O.G.T. (in Ohio), a calculator IS permitted for use on the entire Math portion (the GED is 1/2 & 1/2)! As a result, when these young adults go to take the ASVAB or Accuplacer te

I have taught several standardized test preparation courses and I have helped many students to raise their SAT scores. I teach English, reading and writing to students entering college from around the globe. I am patient and understanding. In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is r

I try to meet the needs of my students. I'm very patient and I don't give up. I assess their prior knowledge, their current needs, their learning style and what we need to accomplish. I believe that all students can learn and we need to find a way for each student to understand the material and how to grasp the concepts so that they can eventually work on their own. I work as a support system until we can get to that point. I have been teaching for fifteen years. For the first five years I taught Montessori at the primary level. After the Rodney King beating I moved to the south, became a public school teacher and started teaching in "at-risk" schools. At some point, I ended up at a school that was serving children coming from many different refugee camps. I became very interested in serving these children and their families. This led me to become ESOL certified. Right now I f
